Tremble
Photographic Series, Lombok, 2018
On 5 August 2018, a destructive and shallow earthquake measuring 7.1 Mw struck the island of Lombok, Indonesia. The archipelago is known for its frequent earthquake activity, as it sits on the Ring of Fire, a major area in the basin of the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are rife.
The epicentre was located in North Lombok Regency. Its rupture spread to the north and reached the sea, creating Tsunamis. The earthquake is the largest and the strongest earthquake to have hit Lombok in recorded history with more than 560 deaths.
The images show the absurdity of the sudden change between the blurring dreaminess of Gili Air and the hidden details of destruction minutes after the earthquake has hit ground.
